But the shot was launched after the buzzer. The clock should have started when Luke got the ball. Should have gone into OT! Still a great game by both teams.

It was his younger brother Luke Nethaway that GOT that shot off in 2.4 seconds.

There is no way Josh Nethaway (20) got that shot off in 2.4 seconds. Fonda got a gift. Still, a great effort and clearly the Game of the Year.

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 22:25:41 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=1545#comment-3701to #7 i was at that game and yes you may be right about the official, but there is a replay of the last 2.4 on facebook and it shows the clock started on time. The player #20 did not lose the ball, he caught it cleanly , yes he took two dribbles did not pump fake he just split the defenders and put it off the glass. If that game is in the burgh gym it may be waved off, but it was not and the game is history. both teams played their butts off. it is too bad such a game has to come down to a questionable call or two. with 23 sec to go the fonda player was pushed out of bounds and the refs gave burgh the ball with no foul called so it was not just that one call that decided the game. burgh also had the ball with 20 sec to go and didn’t score so don’t blame the officiating for it all.

He wrote, once again “And are one of the only Class B representatives in the league that features several bigger schools in terms of enrollment”.
One of the only Class B representatives – There are 3 Vliet, Ravena and Mechanicville.

He Wrote “(3A, 2BB and Watervliet with larger enrollments).
I only see 4 Class B schools 2 BB and 3 A’s”.

Mechanicville Class B 417 Students
V’liet HS I beleive is 7th through 12.

How can you write Only One of Class B schools when there are 3 schools and one of them have a lower enrollment?

My numbers were based on the NYS High School Enrollment. My classification was based on the Times Union.

I am not putting down Fonda and am glad they beat Burgh. I don’t want Fonda thinking they are the only Class B school in the Council.
